Construction of RetireAustralia’s Arcadia Retirement Living in Yeronga continues to advance, with new apartments and community facilities expanding the existing development within Parkside Yeronga.
Expanding Arcadia at Parkside Yeronga
Construction at Parkside Yeronga has been progressing steadily, with the first townhomes by JGL Properties recently completed and occupied. Building on this momentum, RetireAustralia has begun marketing and selling premium independent living apartments in its Arcadia Retirement Living community. The marketing is operating from a temporary sales suite located at the corner of Park Road and Villa Street, near the Yeronga–Annerley boundary.
The development currently includes 159 independent living apartments and a 10-suite care hub. Plans have been lodged for an expansion to deliver an additional 58 apartments, following RetireAustralia’s acquisition of the final available lot in the precinct from Economic Development Queensland.
Former Health Facility Site Repurposed
The newly acquired site was initially approved for a large commercial or health facility intended for Children’s Health Queensland. The organisation has since opted to redevelop its existing facility on the corner of Park Road and Dublin Street, opening the opportunity for Arcadia’s expansion.
This decision allows RetireAustralia to consolidate the final portion of Parkside Yeronga, continuing the broader transformation of the former TAFE site into an integrated, intergenerational precinct.
Features and Facilities for Future Residents
Arcadia Retirement Living, designed by Marchese Partners | Life3A and constructed by Hutchinson Builders, forms part of the Yeronga Priority Development Area. The 3.1-hectare precinct will feature a combination of townhouses, affordable housing, and community amenities surrounded by 4,000 square metres of open green space.
Arcadia will offer a selection of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, with prices starting from $835,000 for one-bedroom homes and reaching $1.6 million for three-bedroom residences. Apartments feature open-plan designs, generous storage, and age-friendly layouts.
Amenities include a cinema, gymnasium, yoga studio, rooftop recreation area, wine room, and billiards room. The community also provides a 24-hour emergency call system, concierge and wellness services, and an innovative Care Hub for short or long-term support.
Community Connection and Open Spaces
RetireAustralia will continue delivering the Parkside Yeronga Green Spine parkland, a publicly accessible garden designed to link the Arcadia community to the Yeronga Community Centre and Villa Street. This landscaped corridor will promote walkability and provide residents and locals with an additional open green area.
Arcadia is scheduled to welcome its first residents from early 2026. The village aims to provide a balance between independence and connection, offering a lifestyle that blends privacy, wellbeing, and community engagement.
